Anal Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
The study is a prospective registration of treatment related-, toxicity-, Quality of life- and outcome data from patients treated in Denmark with radiotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the anus (SCCA), as a cooperation within the Danish Anal Cancer Group (DACG). Substudy one: A prospective biobank is collected with the purpose to identify predictive and prognostic markers for outcome. Substudy two: MRI scans are performed to investigate the rate of pelvic insufficience fractures at one year post chemoradiotherapy.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Complete clinical response | 3 years | Rate of complete response to primary treatment as defined by clinical and radiological evaluation |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Early toxicity evaluation by CTCAE | 2 weeks after the last day of therapy | The rate of treatment related adverse events (assessed by CTCAE v.4.0) related to bowel, skin, bladder and bone. |
| Late toxicity evaluation by CTCAE | 1 and 3 years post treatment | The rate of treatment related adverse events (assessed by CTCAE v.4.0) related to bowel, skin, bladder and bone. |
| Quality of life assessed by the EORTC QoL questionaires | 2 weeks, 1 and 3 years post therapy | European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) quality of life (QoL) questionnaire (QLQ) C30 (core). The EORTC QLQ-CR29 is a tumor-specific health related QoL questionnaire module for CRC (colorectal cancer) patients, which is designed to complement the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire. Patients are asked to indicate their symptoms during the past week(s). Scores can be linearly transformed to provide a score from 0 to 100. Higher scores represent better functioning on the functional scales and a higher level of symptoms on the symptom scales. |
| Prognostic value of ctDNA | At time of treatment completion, an average of 30 days, 1 and 3 years post therapy | Measurement of circulating tumor DNA (in copies per ML) |
| Incidence of pelvis fractures | 1 and 3 years post therapy | Frequency of pelvic insufficience fractures at MRI scans |
